He hates me NOT

XVIII. Where's your room?

Market Place

The market is bustling with vendors and buyers. Fresh vegetables and fruits are all lined up by the side walk, many people are checking out stalls for local products. Forth And Beam have already bought the additional meat good for 100 engineering freshmen.

"Do you want to check around?" Forth asked as he noticed that Beam has been looking with curiosity at the different stalls that they have passed.                         

 Beam paused and blushed, still not recovered from what happened earlier.

He cleared his throat before saying, "Don't be silly, I don't think we have the time. We cant afford to have teens go hungry." Then proceeding to walk ahead. 

Forth stayed behind, watching Beam's hurrying form. He glanced at the stall where he noticed Beam stared the longest. It's a stall selling paper crafts, a handmade one. Leather-bound journals and personalized albums decorate the front of the stall. It wouldn't hurt to see what other products are available on that stall if Forth check it out for a bit, so he approached the stall. There was a woman behind, manning the sales. She looked up when she notice that Forth stop in front of her products, she smiled at the hazer.

"Find something you like, sir?" She asked.

Forth just returned her smile. Upon closer looked, he noticed that the journals are all personally engraved with gold letters. He had found it perfect for someone.

"Do you have a branch in Bangkok?" Forth inquire.

"We're still actually in our early run so I'm afraid we only operate here in Khao Yao, sir." The woman sadly answered.

"Oh.." Forth thought for a while before confessing, "I actually want to buy this for someone, but I cant buy it right now since they're with me."

The woman brightened up at that, "We actually accept online request and we deliver it to you using our delivery partners." She smiled, "Is it for your girlfriend, sir?"

Forth timidly rub his nape. "I would really like that to happen." He sheepishly answered.

The woman fish out a card from the display, she handed it to Forth. "You can place your order in this site. You can also send us what design you prefer. All our design services can be seen here

"Thank you." Forth took the card, hiding it in his pocket for safe keeping. He then head to where Beam took off. 

"I hope it works out for you. Our product will make them happy for sure." The woman finished.

Khao Yao Beach

After the BBQ lunch, the hazing for the freshmen continue. They were again running laps but this time on a beach sand which is much harder than their campus field, but because this is a freshmen outing, the hazers were pretty lenient and just gave them 10 laps. Still, it was torturous since it was blazing hot and these freshmen didn't come to the beach for a sunburn.

Beam stayed on one of the shaded beach chairs to standby in case an emergency happens and to the overheated freshmen and hazers (especially Forth), he looks like an oasis in the middle of a desert. Not to mention, he is literally in charge of distributing water so he's actually surrounded with ice coolers containing bottled mineral waters. 

Forth took a glance at Beam and wondered how he was staying cool. Beam's pale skin doesn't have any hint of redness from the sun. He was pretty worried for the doctor since sunburns hurts like hell.

"P' Beam looked like he has gentle breeze around him, I feel so refreshed looking at him." Forth heard one first year saying.

He frowned and returned his eyes in front of the running first years.

Well, they're not wrong, Forth thought.

Forth put his hand inside his pocket, checking if the card from the stall is still there. He looked at Beam again, feeling the edges of the card. He sigh wondering if buying the doctor a present is a good thing. Is it too early for that? 

He retracted his hand and clapped to the running first years, "Okay! That's enough, guys!" He shouted.

"Go to your respected seniors according to who you have drawn earlier in the bus, your assigned senior has a task for you all to comply, so hurry up and find them." Forth ordered.

Some of the first years scrambled to search for their seniors, some of them beelined straight to Beam asking for water and for his attention. They were complaining to Beam how terrible it was to run in the sun, not forgetting to also complement the doctor how he was so good to them unlike their own seniors. Forth scoffed at that, effectively driving the swarm of freshmen away from the doctor.

"They're cheeky aren't they?" Beam smirk at him.

"Oho! Well, aren't you cheeky yourself too, Mr. Doc?" Forth grin back at him while taking seat at the beach chair next to Beam.

"I still think you should cut your first years some slack, they know where you are gonna sleep after all, Mr. Hazer." Beam singsong to him.

Forth let out a hearty laugh at what Beam said and replied, "Oh trust me, I think they would very much want to know where are yours instead of mine."

Forth said that but now thinking about it, he's starting to worry for the smaller man. 

"Then, I shall be a courteous senpai when they come knocking at my door later at night." Beam said while giggling at the shock pikachu face of Forth. 

"He...Hey!" Forth choked at that.

It was Beam's turn to laugh now. He grinned at the sputtering mess called Forth.

"Then...", Beam made a show of thinking hard "How about you find out where I sleep later?" He added with a wink. 

Beam got up from the chair happily while Forth's choking intensified, satisfied with the payback from all the teasing that Forth did earlier. He was just hit by a level 1000 of Beam's teasing skills after all. On the other hand, Beam was so confident that the hazer won't act it out, Forth is still basically a gentleman.

Medic Team Hotel Room

While talking to the phone with Phana, Beam is lounging on the sofa swing located in their room's balcony. It was a long day and he was ready to call it a night but apparently God has other plan.

"Hey, Doc."

Beam stopped from his swinging and nearly dropped his phone when he looked up at the person who called.
